Now comes time for the interval part of our lesson. And the two intervals we're going to focus on today is the major 6th, and the major 7th. The major 6th and the major 7th. First, the major 6th. Start on C, and we go up to the sixth degree of the scale, which is the A. La, la, can you sing that with me? I'm going to have the Berkeley students sing along with us, ready? [MUSIC] Very nicely, let's do it again [MUSIC] Now, this time I want you to repeat after me. [MUSIC] Good job, that's on major 6th, and one thing that helps me to remember intervals is I'll think of a song that goes with that interval. And a good song for that would be, [MUSIC] That helps me. [MUSIC] All right, so that's your major 6th. The next one is major 7. This is probably a little bit more difficult. Probably the most difficult one we've done. So start on the C, and we go up a 7th to the 7th degree of the scale and do the B, play the B. So C to B, la la, major 7th. Can you sing that with me? [MUSIC] Again. [MUSIC] And I'll play a chord with it, so it's sounds like we're more playing it in context. You ready guys? [MUSIC] Cool, that is a major 7th. If I play this note, [SOUND] see if we can sing the major 7th. Ready? Here we go. One, two. [MUSIC] Good job, let's try this one. [MUSIC] Good job, good job. Now what we're going to do is we're going to do a short quiz, okay? I'm going to play say six different intervals, they'll either be major 6th or major 7th. Here's the first one. [MUSIC] Here it is again. [MUSIC] Here's the second one. [MUSIC] There's the third one. [MUSIC] Here's the fourth one. [MUSIC] Here's the fifth one. [MUSIC] And here's the six one. [MUSIC] Intervals, major 6th, major 7th.
